Fred Ingels Died Wednesday Morning At Five O'Clock This was a very sad statement to go over all the wires in the county this morning for the young school teacher was very popular wherever known. His popularity was deserved for he was a progressive young Christian gentleman of sunny ways and manners, that made him gental to everyone. He was about 23 years of age and had young as he was taught four or five schools. He was teaching at Alexandria, Green Township, where he lived, at the time he was taken ill, a week ago Monday or Tuesday. His illness developed into pneumonia rapidly and it was a bad case from the start. He was reported better Tuesday, the 9th. day of his illness, but he grew worse that night and passed away Wednesday, March 11, 1908. He was the son of Will and Ruey Ingels and leaves his parents and sister Miss Lola to mourn the loss, which is great, for he was affectionate, dutiful and loving to them all. He was well known in Gallipolis having attended school and graduated in the high school Class of 1894. Mrs. Ella Poole, Mr. and Mrs. B.H. Ingles and Mr and Mrs. Bert Gillingham went out this morning and there will be quite a crowd going to the funeral services, which will be at the Alexandria Church, conducted by Rev. J.W. McCormick and Rev. Charles Pfaltzgraf Friday at 11 a.m., the burial following at Mound Hill Cemetery by Wetherholt.
